The topic of free relationship advice is one with nearly unlimited viewpoints and many sub-topics, all of which would be impossible to cover in one little article.  Instead, we’re going to focus on a few general points to keep in mind when it comes to relationships.

Free Relationship Advice: The Attraction Factor

Getting into a relationship with someone you aren’t really that attracted to, is just asking for trouble.  Yet, so many people are desperate enough that the thought of being alone for any length of time is far worse than being with someone they aren’t attracted to.

The reality is, however, that this behavior can be very damaging to both parties.  After all, how would you feel if you found out one day that the person you are in love with is with you only because they don’t want to be alone?  No healthy relationship is built this way.

Free Relationship Advice: Games And Lies

To put it bluntly, playing games and lying are two great ways to hurt yourself and others.  Whether out of defense, compassion, spitefulness, or a desire to be someone you’re not, a relationship that is not built on trust or mutual respect will never last.

Free Relationship Advice: Sorry!

Being quick to face problems, communicate clearly, and apologize quickly (and sincerely), are wonderful traits to develop.  These traits also take guts and humility and are often uncomfortable, but they provide the framework for better relationships.  So how can you develop these traits?

Know yourself: If something isn’t sitting right with you then face it.  Rather than shy away from confrontation, bring it up and get it out in the open.

Think before you speak: As best as you can, find the words that most clearly reflect your position.  Resorting to name calling, and blanket accusations (“You always…” or “You never…”) only put others on the defensive and will get you nowhere.

Apologize: If you were wrong, own up to it, apologize and move on.  Make no mistake; an apology will go a long way towards repairing what’s broken.

Free Relationship Advice: Sex and Laughter

Sex and laughing (though not necessarily always at the same time) are two of the best relationship glues there are.  Both are bonding activities that can unite both partners in a positive way, providing a combined strength for when times get tough.
